Sims 4: Can’t Load Family on Save File

I have been issues with my main save file. Every time I try to load any family, it exits out of the game. But any other save file I use it works perfectly fine and I have no idea what to do. It makes me sad because I’ve been working on a family that’s eight generations in and I don’t want to lose it.

  • @MDBehnke  Do you use mods or custom content, and if so, does this happen with the Mods folder removed?  You don't need to save your progress; this is just for testing.

    I did test it without the mods folder, as I have quite a lot of mods and CC, but now instead of completely exiting out of the game, it just stays on the loading screen when I try loading a family :/ There are a lot of households on the save, don't know the exact number but probably close to capacity, and every lot is filled, but not sure if that's the issue

    @MDBehnke  So every single lot is filled, with nowhere for you to move any sims?  If that's the case, please use Load Game to go directly into Manage Worlds, evict a household and bulldoze the lot, "save as" to rename the save so you don't overwrite your existing copy, quit, reload, and see whether you can move that evicted household, or another one, to the vacant lot.  The question is whether the lot is broken or the sims.
